Book Review of The 80 Minute MBA

Booksroundup.blogspot.Com- Albert Einstein once quoted “Education is the only thing that interferes my Learning”. Likewise, Richard and John try their best to offer us the key to unlock our latched minds. THE 80 MINUTE MBA is your short-cut to business brilliance.

A traditional MBA is for either the time-rich, very wealthy or lucky few with a generous corporate sponsor. So what happens if you want to get a hit of high-quality business inspiration without spending two years back at school? THE 80 MINUTE MBA is the gateway to fresh thinking, in less time than it takes a standard meeting to get past coffee and biscuits. The MBA-in-a-box book is old hat.

Managers need the encouragement to think differently, not in the same straight lines. The Book is an injection of inspiration; creative thinking and dynamic approaches which will help you see the world of business differently. I would like to compare this book to a rotating top, as it gives us a 360` view. This book offers us the crucial topics including leadership, Sustainability and ethics; Community-building, Corporate Culture and finance delivered in a top class manner that will make you sit up and think. Imagine learning without Throat-Clearing, winding anecdotes, lengthy case studies.

Noel coward reckoned that work was more fun than fun and that definitely comes across in this book. John and Richard quoted in the book quick is better and their advice to the readers is to wrap up the book in 80 minutes which I presume would not be a winning move. The book contains lot more than what is presented in the epilogue which definitely requires more than 80 minutes of reading and comprehending. The duo’s effort to transform a bunch of us into leaders with a new spirit of stewardship and helping in building businesses that are both environmentally and financially sustainable is highly inspiring.

There are few things that are tough to change; one is that no business is possible without a complete model or diagram. To my surprise this is the first time I have ever come across a business bible with as many diagrams as possible making it a pleasure to the readers’ eyes. We are prone to forget data or a long stream of information when swallowed all at one time but definitely not diagrams. Pictures can get stay up there for a longer period of time. also read : guru elektronik online

The book also brings to light the various facts that we may have never even imagined- like the concern to convert every business environmentally sustainable. We are so busy in adding few more zeros to our earnings that we are totally unaware of the cataclysmic changes caused by us. This book helps in building a race of highly committed individuals to manage these changes and make the world a better place to live for the forthcoming years.

Emphasizing on the importance of the three C’s- Culture, Cash and conversation we are led into a new business world. Yelling it out loud a strong culture would lead to successful cash flow and high conversation in the market. Clearing the air about the importance of people and the most familiar cliché’ “people are our greatest asset” the irony about Human resources doesn’t remain the same. A wide range of professional associations, think tanks and consulting firms are active in producing research reports and expert commentary on business and management issues but none succeed in keeping you engaged as this book does. Finally if you want to enjoy the fourth C (Charity) don’t hesitate to read this book cause if this book can help you acquire the 3 C’s and help you build a successful creative then why not we take the pleasure of earning the fourth C and lend our hands to the needy.
